Thanks for the detailed response, ylixir. I'm attempting to go back to stock now and will definitely try your suggestions.

I'm still going to try Nookie since the general consensus is that it's the most stable. I don't care about BT or even Flash since I'll just be using this mostly for mobile document viewing in Afghanistan.

Thanks again and will update with my results.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
I know you're new and all, but generally its considered rude to jump into someone else's thread and ask your own question. You'll probably get a lot more visibility (and subsequently a solution to your problem) by making your own thread.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
Dude! The forum rules tell you to search and piggyback existing threads before making your own thread. The idea is that the closely related information is localized, and searching is made much more easier without having multiple threads on the same subject...
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Well, I've got it back to stock 1.1 now. I'm VERY happy to see that since I still might sell this thing if I can't make some headway with a usable ROM.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Well, this is the first forum I've ever seen that operates that way.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Well, just tried running Froyo from the SD card and it just sits at the Android splash screen (the animated one). It also did this last night, but I thought it was because of the non-functional Froyo I had flashed internally.

I guess I'll give HC a shot to see if anything actually works on this device.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Just ran HC and although I finally got past the "decrypted data" error (after three re-images and flashing, no less), I dunno.

I'm going to try rooting the stock 1.1 again and see how that goes. If I can't get comfortable with that, then I'm done. I have better things to do besides sitting around for hours and hours trying to get something to be remotely practical for every day use.

If I wanted a tinkering project, I'd buy an old car.
[Nook Color General] Evaders99:
Autonooker is super easy to get the stock ROM working as an Android tablet.

I'm sure it's stated on the wiki that Nookie Froyo and other ROMs are in development and not meant for stable systems.

Anyway, hope Autonooker works for you
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Good news! Looks like perseverence pays off because rooting 1.1 seems to have worked perfectly this time.

I am fully signed in on YouTube and email, and all the buttons are working properly.

Now that I've finally gotten that out of the way, is there a way to OC the stock ROM? Its not really a need, just curious LOL. I've seen SetCPU mentioned a few times, but IIRC its intended for 2.2 and up only. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, best PDF reader for stock ROM?
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Get a Terminal Emulator from the Market. Now type in the following:

If running off SD

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

If running off EMMC

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

Hope this helps.

Everything I'm installing doesn't show up on the Extras page. If I want to open FB or Dolphin or something like that, I have to search for it.

A little help?
[Nook Color General] rainmakerrc:
Install a new launcher, such as Zeam, Launcher Pro, or ADW. I prefer Zeam myself. Then you'll be able to immediately see new apps you've installed.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Good call on Zeam, mainly because its free and actually works. Now that I finally got my SD card working again in the Nook, now I can concentrate on loading (and hopefully viewing) all 5 GB worth of my documents onto the SD card.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
After my success with basic rooting, I figured I'd give Froyo from the SD card one more shot.

No dice.

I've tried two different images as well as used two different computers to mount the images, yet this thing simply refuses to boot Froyo at all, whether from the SD card or internally. It either gets stuck on the small Android screen with the flashing cursor or it hangs on the animated Android splash.

Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] ylixir:
Adobe's is the best free one I've found so far. Only one that allows you to flip through (nearby) pages at a decent speed. I haven't tried the paid options yet.

If anyone knows an amazing pdf app though, I'd be interested too.
[Nook Color General] ylixir:
Did you check the md5sum of your images?

How long did you leave it sit on the splash? Sometimes android devices take a REALLY long time (long time in minutes, not like hours) to boot the first time, or the first time after you've installed a bunch of apps.

Those are my only two ideas, not having tried froyo on the nook yet :-/
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Well, last night I left it for literally hours and it just drained the battery. Today I tried three more times and left it for at least 10 minutes with no success.

I WAS able to get HC to boot from the SD card earlier today, but everything was in Chinese and it was really really really laggy, so I didn't even bother messing with it.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
In case anyone was wondering, I'm still slogging away at trying to get anything other than 2.1 to run on this thing.

I've now tried both "standard" and custom versions of froyo, CM7 as well as HC with no success. The only one I've been to get to work even the slightest was HC.

I'm going to try the custom Froyo again, except this time I'm going to burn it using Win32DiskImage instead of WinImage.
[Nook Color General] moonpie28:
Where did you get your sd card?

Sent from my swype-a-myn-a-calkytalky googly super premium deluxe astounda phone
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
eBay. By all accounts it appears to be legit. It had the original packaging and everything. I know that doesn't guarantee anything, but still.

If it doesn't work this time, I'm going to write off the card as junk and snag an 8GB from Wal-Mart, although I don't think they carry anything above Class 4.
[Nook Color General] moonpie28:
Bingo. I got Lexar from Office Depot that is also very fast. Sandisk from retail will be safe too.

[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Success! I guess WinImage was the problem, because the custom Nookie Froyo just booted up without issue.

Of course, I'm encountering a couple of issues, but at least I have progress. WiFi can't find my network and it also won't recognize my SD card, even though it booted from it....weird.

Anyways, I'll keep going. I might try CM7 now, just to confirm that WinImage was the problem and I didn't just get lucky this time.
[Nook Color General] rainmakerrc:
Is it not reading it, or do you just see less space on your card than expected? If the latter, you probably need to enlarge the sdcard partition on your card. Search for EASEUS.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Once I'm into Froyo, it says the SD card is blank and won't recognize it, even if I mount it again in the Settings or remove and reinstall the card.

I tried a vanilla version of Froyo and although WiFi worked on that one (for awhile, anyways), it still wouldn't recognize the card and eventually rebooted itself, at which point it froze at the animated Android splash again.

I'm going to try an SD version of the custom Froyo again and see if it works better this time.

If that doesn't work, I think I'll try flashing it internally since I know I can get it back to stock and root it again on 1.1 if something goes wrong.

This is such a pain in the ass, lol.
[Nook Color General] lesdense:
I'm a rookie at this stuff too. I loaded Nookie Froyo on my internal memory without incident but it lacked many basic features and utilities. The alternative I found was a custom Froyo ROM from Xboxexpert that comes complete with nearly every setting and program you need to be up and running in minutes. I found him through a YouTube video. I'm new to XDA so I can't post a link but just search "xboxexpert nook" on YouTube. Very full-featured, very stable ROM. He pimps a "manual" he hopes users will buy but the ROM is free. I wiped everything on my Nook and installed it in less than 10 minutes (without the manual). It's overclocked to 1.1, video plays silky smooth, Flash 10.2 installed from Market, Angry Birds plays great. I'll load HC on SD some day soon to screw around with but this Froyo ROM seems rock solid for constant use, at least for the 30 days I've been using it.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Hmmm definitely worth a look. Downloading now and will post back with results.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Wow. Mad props to you for giving me the heads up on this ROM.

I'm blown away, simply because it didn't take me hours to get it up and running. I installed NoFrillsCPU instead of SetCPU and it is already running at 1.1 Ghz and was able to achieve a Quadrant score of 1200.

So far nearly everything works as it should, although ironically the XDA app force closes when I try to view this thread while signed in, LOL. YouTube works brilliantly and I even like the background that comes with it. Of course, Angry Birds works perfectly, unlike on 1.1 where the sounds were out of sync with the game, making it very annoying.

Now, I just need to try out a PDF reader (I see that Aldilko is already installed....loading my docs onto the SD card now) and see how it works.

On another note, the Email app won't let me use my Yahoo account. It continually tells me that my username/password is incorrect, even though it isn't. This is constant across all ROMs and versions of Android so far.

I do have SU rights and using the console (terminal emu) but nothing happends / cant rename the files

I used those (both) commands recommended by japzone :

I found it at the wiki after quite a while :) (Iam using internal (whats d difference between internal and eMMC?)

sorry!
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
UPDATE: This version is leaps and bounds better than any of the others on here, but I'm still having weird issues.

When I transfer files to my SD card from the PC, all of the files are there.

However, once I put the card into the Nook, most of the files mysteriously disappear. I even put the card back into the PC and they're nowhere to be found. This is VERY frustrating.

Also, of the PDF files that actually make it to the Nook, at least half come up as "invalid" when trying to open with Aldilko or Adobe Reader.

Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] chef123:
I even have an other problem:

I use the phiremod nook V5.1 @925Mhz with 1500 points @quadrant bench.

I cant play videos "out of the box" cause they are choppy at all (even low resolution like 480*272).

Should I use an other player like "mobo player" or is it limited to codecs or to the cpu frequency?

How can I use and implement a faster OC kernel?

UPDATE: still not working (with mobo)!

UPDATE2: youtube XL --> only SD videos are playing flawlessness (B&N worked with HD)
[Nook Color General] Disco180:
You said document viewing is your main purpose but you have certainly taken it to another level.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Because its possible? LOL.

I really don't have a good answer other than "because I want to". At least I know stock is always a viable option.

The guy has the volumes set up for "Back" and "Menu" instead of the usual UP and DOWN. I want hard volume buttons back. How do I make this happen?
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
Hi,

Not sure if you remembered to 'eject' or 'safely remove' the SDcard from

Windows? Might be the cause of missing files.

Peter
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
I think I figured out the file issue.

Seems that the Nook has issues reading folders within folders within folders. So, I basically made the structure a little less complex and the files show up fine now.

Weird.

Now, I'm just trying to find a good office suite. Probably going to bite the bullet and pay the $14.99 for DocsToGo since I have that on my iPhone and know it works really well.
[Nook Color General] lesdense:
That has not been my experience. I created folders within folders four levels deep on my micro SD and my Froyo rooted Nook (using either Root Explorer or Astro free) navigated them flawlessly and executed files contained in them. No idea what differs between your system and mine -- just feedback.
[Nook Color General] lesdense:
To return the volume buttons to volume functions, use a file manager that permits you to change permissions (I like Root Explorer), navigate to system/usr/keylayout, change permissions to R/W (it should be defaulted to R/O) and then open qwerty.kl in a text editor. You want to edit two lines, "key 114" and "key 115". You'll see that these two lines say "BACK" and "HOME" (I forget which is which). Change key 114 to read VOLUME_DOWN and change key 115 to read VOLUME_UP. Save and Exit. Then do the

exact same editing

to a second file in the same location, twl4030-keypad.kl. Save and Exit. Change the permissions back to R/O and you're done. Now your volume buttons will perform volume functions.

I reset these controls after installing Button Savior, which I prefer to Soft Keys. I put the small tab that you tap to bring up the soft buttons right where my thumb rests on the Nook case. That way I have control over all those navigational controls simply by tapping as you would anything else on screen. Works for me.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
I decided I could live with the volume buttons the way they are. I just have to think ahead about the desired volume level before playing anything. Its kind of a hassle, but I think I can live with it.

On a positive note, I used this thing nearly all day today at work and it only got down to 45% on the battery level. Amazing.

I'm still trying to figure out why this ROM isn't on this site. Its twice as good as everyone else's.

Thanks again to lesdense for the heads up about this.
[Defy General] salingpusa:
just wondering if any of you guys experienced the same problem.

i just had this issue after upgrading to 2.2 tmobile us 34.4.9.

this usually happens when playing games and that in the middle of the game there will be a huge lag/screen freezes and this continue even after killing the program. it goes away after reboot and you can see a 100% cpu warning on top.

-vsel set at 20/300, 36/700, 49/1000 at 86%

-watchdog didnt report any misbehaving apps

-memory booster free memory around 35-40%

-apps not in sd

sometimes this happens, sometimes not. any ideas how this thing happens and how to avoid it.

thanks :):):)
[Defy General] samoelito:
try upgrading vsel set to 30/300 50/800 60/1000 and the treshold to what you want.

That should leave the phone smooothe~
[Defy General] DrMrNo:
Bug in froyo. Enable usb debugging for workaround. See:

[Defy General] rockx0:
in my case, I solved it by changing the trueshold SetVsel to 88%
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
definately up your Vsel 49 is too low for 1000Mhz try atleast 52 or 53 Most people suggest 56-58. Also I disagree with having vsel2 at 800, but thats just my opinion I keep mine at 600

800 just seems a little much IMO

Yes you can go stalraight to 1.9.0, just Put the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt in the root of your sd card, flash streakmod recovery, reboot into recovery, install 1.9.0, and you are done, just follow the guide, you won't get lost.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watermelun:
Yep. I did it on mine.

In addition to what eowyn0821 mentioned, I fastboot-ed the baseband and 720p fix as well. Just in case. Remember to wipe using the default factory reset not the recovery.

i cannot flash streak recovery,it just says waiting on device but never does anything

and i cant boot phone up.....stays at boot logo

i took out sd card and installed different roms,1.6 to 1.9.0 but stock recovery cant see .zip only update.pkg so i renamed....but after it sees the update and tries to install.....i get the,

E:signature verification failed error

and i dont know where to download the att stock froyo

i believe im on gausbxxx34041,how can i get it to reboot only having the stock recovery?

ive tried the factory reset option,still hangs at boot up

pleas help me before i wear out the tabs on my back cover:D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
The reason you are having error is because you renamed the zips to pkg which they are not, they are zip that is why when it was opened you get the error. Go to the wiki page section of xda for dell streak you can find all the roms, recovery, basebands almost anything you need about streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrocutioner:
So step 1 for me should be to root my phone correct?

( hello I guess I might need to do a backup first?)

and then I'm clear to use streakmod recovery to reload the zip file.

do I also need to upgrade my baseband first, or is this an optional step?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
Yes it is an optional step, it depends on you on what baseband you want to use, but if you are planning to go 1.9.0 i suggest you stick with 345 as i know it was based on 341 and 345 builds.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shvetaketu:
Just my two cents' worth. Tried to upgrade from streakdroid 1.8 to 1.9 without factory reset. Worked fine. Tried again with a factory reset. Went into an endless loop - boot screen to unlock screen to boot screen..... and so on.

Flashed stock recovery, did a factory reset from stock recovery, flashed streakmod recovery, installed 1.5, then 1.8, then without a factory reset installed 1.9 - all worked fine.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrocutioner:
Okay,so far I have installed superoneclick and it looks like all is well and I have installed clockwork recovery and all seems as it should be.

How do I get the install.txt and the update.zip package onto the root of the sd card?Is this the same as just dumping into the sd card from windows? Or do I have to do this in the phone?

Do i need to rename the zip to update.pkg?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
If you are coming from any 2.2 you do not need to install superuser as all streakdroid such as 1.9.0 are all rooted, yes you just have to copy the 1.9.0 update.zip and install.txt from your comouter and paste them on your sdcard. You do not have to rename it to pkg as clockwork and streakmod only install update.zip and stock/dell recovery install update.pkg. All streakdroid roms are update.zip and should remain as such.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watermelun:
The recovery usually has some options to mount the sdcard. I have used it on streakmod recovery. You might wanna use that to get the right files on the sdcard to install the new rom.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
This gallery will show you the menu options that allow you to mount the SD Card from streakmod recovery.

mucho problemos w titanium backup

So my installation of 1.9 Streakdroid over stock 2.2 ran quite well except for some minor issues.One that was bugging me was the time stamp coming in wrong on texts which is a big pain.(I am now working around it by making time settings manual and setting myself to +-0 gmt)

So I thought I had better do the factory reset and clear the Davik cache and see what happens.I backed up using Titanium and proceeded as planned.

Factory reset and everything is okay but every time I go to restore my apps and system data the phone completely craps out.It seemed okay for a while but progressively got worse until I was forced to repeat the procedure many times.At this point every time I go to restore everything with TB the phone totally craps out FC'ing everything imaginable.

System reset restores to a working state but as soon as I restore ADW or TB it seems to crap everything out.

Anybody know how I can retrieve settings from a single app (my tracks) out of a titanium backup?Is there an extraction tool that would bypass everything else?

Copy and paste mirror2.streakdroid.com/djsteve336.zip this in your browser. Flash via Clockworkmod.

Its always a safe bet too wipe data/cache make a nandroid before you flash!!! Flash at your own risk Me, Davied, DJ_Steve are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device or yourself. Happy Streaking to you all!!!
